Heel Taping Technique - How To Tape Your Heels To Prevent Blisters

Here's my heel taping technique. I tape heels a little different to most for blister prevention. I use 3 pieces of tape, two long ones and one shorter one.

Okay, put the short one on first, right at that curvey part of your heel. There’s no need to round the corners of this one. Give it a little stretch to make sure it goes on without any creases.
Then put the bottom one on, making sure you overlap the previous one a little. And the value of that first bit of tape is becoming obvious. It means you can put this bigger tape on without it getting creased at that heel curve, and without leaving any bare skin.

The last bit goes around the back and covers each side, making sure you overlap that first bit of tape again.

I like this technique because it’s easier to do this on your own feet than some other techniques I’ve seen. And I think it’s really important to tape your own feet if you can, rather than have someone else do it for you. Only you know what works best for you. And you can keep your technique consistent.

As with every taping, be careful when you put your socks on - you don’t want to catch these edges and make them roll back.

And if you’re doing it another way and it’s working for you, great – stick with that. There’s no right way and wrong way – only the way that works best for you.
